This presentation highlights how capture and transmission measurements were performed with the DANCE (Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments) instrument with capture data from 8 eV – 1 keV, and DICER (Device for Indirect Capture Experiments on Radionuclides) instruments with transmission data from 1meV – 1 keV. There were additional measurements of 147Sm which had contaminant in the samples, 3.4 eV strong resonance, interesting abnormalities. The data analysis is complete and the R-Matrix analysis almost (90%) complete.
